This is a very good general purpose 140 straight paraffin (will require additives if putting more than 4% fragrance in the candle). We had the opportunity to purchase this at a very good price. If looking to make general pillars, votives and other free standing candles this wax would be perfect. This product is in 10 pound slabs with 5 slabs per carton. Good for many other applications outside of candle making.
